POPULAR TAILORING.

A popular" Tailor is al
most invariably "Stif in
the bit"-that is to say-a
high priced one.
One or two very Swell
youths declare that "Jones''
is the only Tailor in town
who can make their clothes,
in fact, that it's the proper
caper to have "Jones" for
your tailor, and the lambs
willingly submit TO being
fleeced for the honor of
having their clothes made
by the Tailor of the howl
ing swell whose position as
a leader of his "Set" is as
sured.
Popular Tailoring, as we
understand and practice it,
is Tailoring combining all
the elements Of artistic
cutting, perfect fitting gar
ments, first class workman
ship, and, though last not
least,prioes within the reach
of all. For instance, we
are now prepared to make
clothes to order at $40 a
suit from such materials as
Scotch cheviots, English
tweeds and homespuns,wire
twist cassimeres, American
serges, Harris cassimeres,
and Canadian cloths.
These Suits will be cut
and made artistically; well
trimmed; stinted in moth
ing, and we guarantee a
perfect fit every time. For
Samples of these elegant
suitings and Sample gar
ments made up as a guide,
look in our large Show

seldom made and never

EDITOR O'BRIEN is evidently possessed
OF moral as well as physical courage. He
proved his physical courage by the inva-
sion of Canada to show how the governor
general treated his Irish tenants, and dis
played his moral courage and wisdom by
refusing to attend the demonstration
gotten up In his honor at New York Satur-

In actual heating power it is difficult
to obtain exact figures of comparison be-
tween coal and wood, because the uuan.
THY of moisture may vary to the extent
of twenty-five or thirty per cent. This
would reduce the value of the wood to
about the same extent. The most care.
full experiments show that ton of an
thraGte is equal to about one cord and
one half of mixed hard woods, chiefly
oak. This supposes the wood to be we'll
seasoned. \ ton OF anthracite, in some
cases, may be fully equal to two cords
and one-quarter of soft wood, such as
hemlock, white pine, etc. In Massachu-
setts, number of experiments made a
few years ago, showed that a ton of hard
C ,al was equal to one cord and sx-tenths
of hemlock.
One ton of some of the poor Western
Goals is not equal to cord of good hard
wood Taking all the estimates together,
ton of good hard or anthracite coal is
of the best bituminous coal A ton of
2,C00 pounds of either kind may be taken
as equal to about one cord and one-half
Of what may be called good, dry, mer-
charitable, hard wood.
When wood, cut and split, sells for 81
per cord, it is equal in price to coal at III
per ton. But when the price of wood in
four-foot lengths is wo-thirds that of
coal, then the coal is much cheaper, be-
cause the saving and splitting must be
added.
Economy of handling, must in a great
many cases, be taken into account. A
coal-tire in magazine stove will burn all
day in ordinary weather without attep-
ton. An ordinary fire needs attention
perhaps twice day. For an equal
amount of heat, two or three times as
great weight of wood has to be lifted
as would be required if coal were used.
The following is safe rule by which to
ascertain when to buy coal: Add one
half to tie cost of the wood, and, if the
amount equals the price of coal per ton,
coal is the cheapest, besides being more
readily handled. The wood should be
measured in the stick, and not after it is
cut and split.
